ASHLIE CHAVEZ

Within my own illustrations I've always enjoyed using blocks of printed colours and collage, but I've never really been that keen on total collages, until now. Collages, to me, or at least the ones I've seen, always seem a bit higgledy piggledy - that is I can't often work out what they're trying to say or interpret, but with Ashlie Chavez it seems to make sense.

The compositions are stunning, and the use of more muted colours gives it an old fashioned, almost cute feel - often juxtaposed with a T-rex or a shark baring their teeth.
